Dog Walking Nederland

“Christopher is very responsive and reliable!”

Rae V.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to share my home with dogs & cats my whole life, and would love to care for your fur babies overnight in your home, drop-in for walks or spend time giving loving attention & meals. I live in the Nederland area and have a 4wd vehicle with high clearance, so no problems navigating mountain life for your pets! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dog - I’ve raised rescue pups to mature gentleman & well-mannered ladies, and they’ve ranged in size from a 100lbs Golden Retriever/Chow mix to a 13lbs Pug/Shitzu. I’m a stay at home pet momma with a flexible schedule that allows me to can care for your fur babies overnight in your home. I live on five unfenced acres and walk my two dogs (always on leash) around Nederland, Sugarloaf, and surrounding areas of the Canyons. I’d be happy to go on leashed walks/hikes with your doggos! or if you have a yard, I’d be happy to watch your pup closely as we enjoy unleashed play time. I am accustomed to and prepared for mountain life and the variables it brings (wildlife, weather, fires, etc.).

About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My experience began when I fostered a mother cat and her six very young kittens. Several had respiratory infections, so I carefully administered their prescribed medication and monitored their care. I found loving homes for four of the kittens and adopted the other two. I later worked at a humane society and have also provided pet sitting for neighbors and family members. I raised my Doberman from 11 weeks old and have personally handled his basic training, exercise, enrichment, and daily routine. Having lived with pets throughout my life, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and giving every animal patient, attentive, and dependable care. Pet care is my primary professional focus, allowing me to offer dependable availability and give each booking my full attention. I provide walks, drop-ins, and limited boarding throughout the week. To ensure personalized care and a calm home environment, I board only one guest dog at a time, subject to availability and a successful meet-and-greet. I provide walks and drop-in care in my clients’ homes, as well as limited boarding in my own home. My home has a securely fenced one-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised exercise and play. I have a Doberman and three cats, with separate areas available so animals can have their own secure space when needed. I board only one guest dog at a time and require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. Introductions are handled gradually and supervised carefully, and pets are separated during meals and whenever supervision is not possible. Before every booking, I review each pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and behavioral considerations. Pet parents receive regular photos and updates throughout their pet’s stay or visit.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I’m responsible, patient, and loving, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own! As a college student at CU Boulder, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I love spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the love and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention and patience. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Although I’ve always cared for pets of friends and family, I am excited to now care for pets at a more professional level through Rover! I’m a bit of a dog breed nerd and genuinely enjoy learning about breed-specific traits, behaviors, and enrichment needs. Whether your pup is a high-energy working breed that needs extra exercise or a laid-back companion who loves cuddles, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I am a self employed artist and photographer which allows me to have complete control and flexibility in my schedule to care for animals! I can be available on short notice and can easily work my schedule around the needs of each individual pet! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I’m attentive to body language and behavior changes, allowing me to adapt my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As someone who enjoys learning about breed-specific traits and needs, I understand that every dog is different and strive to provide care that matches their energy level and temperament. My goal is to give pet parents the same peace of mind I would want, by treating every animal as if they were my own and keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respectful, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

About: I've had a turtle, birds & dogs growing up. I've had 3 Cocker Spaniels that I've had since they were puppies up until their senior years. I have hands-on experience with dog birth, training & medication administration. My mission is to create an atmosphere where your four-legged family member/s feel loved, cherished, and surrounded by a warm and caring atmosphere. I will keep you as updated as you desire through messages/photo updates, so you can see the smiles and tail wags firsthand. My experience, nurturing skills & patience will be sure to make your fur baby feel at home. Pet sitting and housesitting will need to be done at the client's home.

About: I volunteered at the local humane society for 4+ years and fostered puppies and adult dogs for the shelter. I also used to work for a dog walking company and have had my own dogs my whole life! I just graduated college, so I am free to love on your pet anytime! I also am active and love having a buddy to come on walks with me. I would treat a clients pet as my own, treating it with the love and attention it deserves. I would treat a clients dog with respect and be attentive to its needs.

About: Beginning as a volunteer and rescuer, I then moved into pet and house sitting. I continue to foster and volunteer with a local animal rescue and treasure my time with all kinds of animals. I am creating this profile to highlight my specialty services such as dog running, homemade pet food, and portraiture.** A lover of all animals and nature, I’m happiest with both. My touch and voice are gentle, and my style is consistent. Having pets of all kinds and sizes growing up and continuing into adulthood has been a sincere source of joy, gratitude, and service. In the last few years, my time spent volunteering at a local rescue has greatly expanded my experience and skill- especially with special needs animals. Special services and care that I offer include: ~applying my professional chef training to prepare specialty pet food for unique needs, allergies, anxiety, or other conditions alleviated with herbs and nutrition ~when house/pet sitting for you, I’m happy to address the refrigerator and pantries to prepare food before it spoils and leaving you a home cooked meal upon your return or storing in your freezer ~professionally cleaned, organized, and stocked kitchen for you while you are at work or away Additionally, I have been trained and actively competing in Colorado roller derby for 7 years. Using this experience, robust padding, and training, I will exercise dogs that need more than a walk to take them at their pace and level on trail runs on my roller skates. In my many years experience of doing this with several clients as well as rescue animals in my foster care, I have observed many benefits such as: ~improved obedience ~naturally filed nails ~increased happiness and smiles ~less scratching, digging, jumping, whining, barking, and other undesirable behavior ~better sleeping ~improved health and well being The majority of my time during the day is spent outdoors hiking, roller skating the bike paths, or in the garden, and I love to have the company of animals for all of it. At night, I cook, dance, and will read aloud to whoever is in the house. I find animals love this too. As a private chef, I have a lot of time outside of scheduled private events and parties. I can build catering quotes, shop online, and write menus from anywhere. This leaves plenty of time and attention for animals in my care. I like to be outdoors as much as possible and having a pet companion makes it all the more enjoyable for me. I live in a clean and cozy townhouse very near multiple parks and paths. I use harnesses and good judgment while on excursions. I am trained in pet care, proper hydration, nutrition, and herbalism for pets. I never raise my voice and use positive reinforcement and fun to enlist cooperation. Furthermore, animals that are food motivated or fun motivated LOVE me. I love to be outdoors and active but can also cuddle inside for the furry friends that prefer one or both. If your dog likes to run, good news! I like to go fast on the bike paths! Caring for your pet(s) is the highest honor and takes priority while in my care. Please let me know about special needs, but otherwise you can trust that my regular routine is to play, be outside, laugh, show kindness, and provide stellar caregiving.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, and cows since I was a kid. Neighbors, family and friends relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, clean stalls, and give love and attention to their fur babies. I have taken care of kittens that needed bottle feeding, Birds with cones on because they are plucking their feathers. Horse feedings and stall cleanings. Bottom line is, I LOVE ALL ANIMALS like they are my own and I will make sure your fur child is taken care of. I am a full time student that is currently studying online for ensure a mobile lifestyle. I am here for your pet 24/7 when they are in my care. I am here to create and maintain and open line of communication, transparency, safety and your fur child needs are my #1 concern. I have a gentle giant male dog that lives in our home. However, when traveling to a clients home my focus is solely on your pet and my dog will stay with his other human.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and apparently they've had one for me too. Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in the Boulder area. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had the pleasure of sharing my life with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and even livestock. Unfortunately, I recently became petless after my old girl passed away. This has left my love for pets homeless and I would love nothing more than to give it all to your babies. Cuddles, belly rubs, a good hike, maybe a little mud and a bath and of course some yummy treats, I’m here for it all! Whether your pet is a professional couch potato, an enthusiastic adventure buddy or just needs a little extra TLC, I have the experience and enough love to keep up with them. I’m currently working as part of a wildlife rehabilitation internship. I’m still in the first stage, so I only need to be there about 20 hours a week, which gives me lots of flexibility. This means I can work my internship schedule around what your pet needs! Early morning feedings? Done. Middle of the night potty breaks? Done. Need a midday nap buddy? Done. I’m open to both weekdays and weekends and with 24 hours’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s routine is important and I’m happy to work around it whenever I can! My first priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that consistency can make a big difference when their favorite person isn’t around. This all starts with the bond I work to form with them from the moment I become the stranger invading their territory. I’m not just there to feed, walk and clean up messes. I’m there to make sure your pet doesn’t feel scared, abandoned or stressed while you’re away. I want you to be able to leave knowing that they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved. That peace of mind for you also comes from my close attention to detail. No door will be left open. No change in behavior shall go unnoticed. No accident will be left unattended and no animal shall be shamed. I won’t just keep your pets alive. I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for, with lots of stories for you to come home to while you’re out creating your own memories.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m originally from a beach town in New Hampshire and spent the last year living in Hawaiʻi before moving back to Colorado. I lived in Colorado previously, so I’m very familiar with the area and absolutely love the lifestyle here. I’m a senior at CU Boulder and spend as much of my free time outside as possible—hiking, skiing, camping, swimming, and exploring. I’m happy to keep active dogs busy with long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or plenty of outdoor time, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home with pets who prefer a slower pace. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets and can administer oral medications. I know every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust their care to whatever makes them feel happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. I’m a senior at CU Boulder with a pretty light class schedule Tuesday through Thursday, and the rest of my coursework is online. This gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout most of the day for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I’m also around most weekends and love having a furry companion to break up my schoolwork! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medications, crate time, playtime, or lots of attention and cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets and understand that some animals need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Animal care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. I am self employed and a part time student taking classes online. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time and opportunity to give your furry friends the attention that they need. In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client when it comes to the various needs of their animals. I understand that pets are family. I know it can be nerve wracking to leave your babies with a stranger. Rest assured that I treat your family members with the same love and care that I would want my own to be treated. I have a calm demeanor and connect quickly with even the shyest of animals. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.

About: Being around animals brings me great joy, and I would be so happy to love on your pets while you are away. I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child, was a live-in dog caretaker in college, and I have experience with pets of all ages. Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite things, from walks and playing fetch outside to cuddling with them in a cozy spot after we play. I work as a motorcycle mechanic, and during the winter, my hours are flexible. In my free time, I enjoy exercising and watching the sunset. I would love to give your pets loads of attention, and staying with them overnight is no problem for me. When I care for your pets, I treat them (and your home) as though they were my own, ensuring the health and happiness of your pets and the cleanliness of your home. Always careful with instructions and details, my aim is to ensure their safety while also becoming one of their new favorite humans. You will receive frequent updates and photos so you don't have to worry about anything while you are away.

About: I just moved back to Colorado from Southern CA where I used work for a non-profit where I train dogs to become service dogs for individuals with disabilities! I can handle large groups of dogs and love giving special attention to any pet :) I had cats and dogs growing up and during college, I watched many of my friends’ dogs for a few hours, up to a few weeks. ** message me if you have scheduling questions! I can be more accommodating than this app’s calendar :) I work full-time, so I am looking to help watch pets on weekends and over the upcoming winter holiday season. I am comfortable staying at a client's home and doing longer-term pet care as long as the animal can be alone during the day for an 8 hour work day. If your home is near Oceanside, I can stop in during my lunch break to let your pets out to toilet. I will keep dogs on leash unless in a trusted, enclosed area. For safety reasons, I will not be using a Flexi-leash. I will always make sure your pet has ample clean water. I am more than happy to send photos and updates on your pet while they're in my care! As of July 12, I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross, and for my job, I have been trained to be alert to allergic reactions and typical dog stats.

About: My name is Moriah, and I am 31 years old. I worked for Wag! from August of 2017 to February of 2019. I also worked in a kennel/dog grooming facility when I was younger. Pets, and animals of all kinds, are my joy. I absolutely love working with them. They fill my heart with such happiness. I take pleasure and pride in treating your fur-babies as best as possible, and having fun with them is a unavoidable gift of each encounter. I will make sure to follow your instructions, and provide you with detailed reports of what we did and how things went. I will also send pictures and/or videos, of course! After doing this as my only source of income for about 8 years now, I know it is my passion. I would love nothing more than to take care of your pets while you are unavailable. I look forward to meeting each and every one of them! Pet care is my full time job, so I am able to provide your fur babies with all the love and attention they might need! I like to just hang out with your pets most of the day. I am flexible and match my schedule to theirs, following any and all instructions you have for me. They are my sole focus throughout the sitting, walk, or drop in. I pick up on their quirks quickly and forge strong bonds with them. I love to provide them with as much comfort and security as I can while their family is away. This is my full time job, so my weekly routine revolves around pet care. Not only do I love every minute of it, but I'm able to provide your animals the highest level of care that way! I follow all instructions that are given to me, and I tend to spoil your animals with love and attention! Sometimes treats as well, if they're allowed. I am able to stay at the pet's house with them nearly 24 hours a day, which they love. We have lots of fun together and always end up developing a strong bond with each other. Anything else that is needed or wanted, I will be happy to provide!
